Air conditioning makes homes comfortable during hot and humid weather, but systems require servicing to run reliably and serve their intended purpose. According to American Home Shield, air conditioning experts recommend servicing your AC system once a year. Spring is generally the best time so your system works at peak efficiency throughout the summer. Here are three services that an AC company offers.

1. Compressor Replacement

When your vents start to blow warm air, it may be time to check your compressor. The compressor takes refrigerant and compresses or pressurizes it. This compression causes the refrigerant to cool enough to chill the air before it gets blown into your home. When the compressor begins to fail, temperature changes become more common and the refrigerant isn't compressed regularly. Fortunately, compressor replacement is easy for an experienced technician from an AC company!

2. Motor Upgrades

While harder to detect for a novice, a technician can spot when a motor needs repairs. Some indicators are a buildup of oil or your AC completely shutting down. More often than not, a technician will have to take off the top of the AC unit to access the motor. Once they access the motor, they can assess what is going on and run electrical tests that give further detail. If a technician determines your motor needs to be replaced, they may have to order the part.

3. AC Cleaning

While not as common, it's important to remember that a clean AC unit is a happy AC unit. Dust, grass, and debris can build up around the system and even fall into it. When you work with an AC company, they will clean out the system if needed. Some maintenance can be done by watching for debris and keeping grass cleared away. When it comes to the inside of the system, it is best to leave service to the professionals.
